I'm purchasing my first flat in Herne Hill with a loan from Godiva Mortgages Ltd. The builders refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The house builders rep advised me not disclose to my conveyancer about the extras as it will adversely affect my mortgage with the lender. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Herne Hill. Before diving in I want to be sure as to the unexpired term of the lease.

Assuming the lease is recorded at the land registry - and almost all are in Herne Hill - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.

I am the leaseholder of a basement flat in Herne Hill. Given that I can not reach agreement with the landlord, can the Leasehold valuation Tribunal make a decision on the amount due for the purchase of the freehold?

Where there is a absentee landlord or where there is dispute about the premium for a lease extension, under the relevant legislation it is possible to make an application to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal to decide the amount due.

An example of a Freehold Enfranchisement decision for a Herne Hill property is 66 Southwell Road in March 2012. By Order of Deputy District Judge Stone dated 25 January 2012 a vesting order was made. The determination of the purchase price was referred to the Tribunal who decided that the amount payable for the freehold should be£29,612.00 This case related to 3 flats. The unexpired term as at the valuation date was 72.58 years.

What is the reason for new build conveyancing in Herne Hill being more expensive?

Purchasing a new build property is significantly distinct from the normal house buying conveyancing in Herne Hill. Firstly sellers normally insist contracts to exchange within a tight deadline, the result being a a great deal of pressure on your solicitor to ensure all is in order. Furthermore new build properties frequently necessitate examination of adoption of highways, drains, planning considerations, building warranties or architects certificates. Lenders obligations are also more demanding. Given the complex nature of the process for these types of properties, the conveyancing new build fees are higher than normal.
